Artist: Merle Haggard Album: Hag-The Studio Recordings 1969-1976 (2007) Title: Better Off When I Was Hungry
Lyrics Better Off When I Was Hungry(Dave Kirby)
I read they're havin' rain in California And Lord I hope that you're not gettin' wet That's the only way on earth I have for knowin' how you're doin' When you left you said you call but you ain't yet.
And I think I was better off when I was hungry And fightin' off the wolfs from our front door But I wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often Now I think I was better off when I was hungry.
--- Instrumental ---
My guitar brought us here to Bonmat Texas And I bought you everything your eyes could see But the mansion couldn't hold you could nobody's arms to warm you I guess I gave you everything but me.
And I think I was better off when I was hungry And fightin' off the wolfs from our front door But I wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often Now I think I was better off when I was hungry... |
